XCII

1The book written by Enoch -{Enoch indeed wrote this complete doctrine of wisdom, [which is] praised of all men and a judge of all the earth} for all my children who shall dwell on the earth. And for the future generations who shall observe uprightness and peace.

2Let not your spirit be troubled on account of the times;
For the Holy and Great One has appointed days for all things.

3And the righteous one shall arise from sleep,
{Shall arise} and walk in the paths of righteousness,
And all his path and conversation shall be in eternal goodness and grace.

4He will be gracious to the righteous and give him eternal uprightness,
And He will give him power so that he shall be [endowed] with goodness and righteousness.
And he shall walk in eternal light.

5And sin shall perish in darkness for ever,
And shall no more be seen from that day for evermore.

91:1
That which was written by Enoch. He wrote all this instruction of wisdom for every man of dignity, and every judge of the earth; for all my children who shall dwell upon earth, and for subsequent generations, conducting themselves uprightly and peaceably.

91:2
Let not your spirit be grieved on account of the times; for the holy, the Great One, has prescribed a period to all.

91:3
Let the righteous man arise from slumber; let him arise, and proceed in the path of righteousness, in all its paths; and let him advance in goodness and eternal clemency. Mercy shall be showed to the righteous man; upon him shall be conferred integrity and power for ever. In goodness and in righteousness shall he exist, and shall walk in everlasting light; but sin shall perish in eternal darkness, nor be seen from that time forward for evermore.
